Saket Gokhale’s ₹50 Lakh Apology EXPOSES Congress Playbook: Lies, Media Uproar… Then Silence

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale has issued an unconditional public apology and agreed to pay ₹50 lakh in damages after falsely accusing ex-diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri of corruption. The Delhi High Court warned of civil detention if he failed to comply. But Gokhale’s apology isn’t an isolated incident — it’s just another example in a long line of opposition leaders making defamatory claims, triggering outrage, and then quietly backtracking when confronted by the courts. From Rahul Gandhi’s RSS allegations to the Rafale lie, from ‘khoon ki dalali’ to defaming NSA Ajit Doval’s son — the pattern is clear: slander first, apologise later. #SaketGokhale #CongressExposed #RahulGandhi #LakshmiPuri #DelhiHighCourt #PoliticalDrama #CongressLies #NewIndia #TruthPrevails #OppositionPolitics #BJPVsCongress Also Read Kamal Haasan Faces Karnataka High Court Reprimand for Not Apologising Over Controversial Remarks :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kamal-haasan-karnataka-hc-actor-refuses-apologise-011-4171617.html?ref=DMDesc They Gate Crashed!

Trump SLAPS 35% Import Tariff On Canada, Citing Ottawa’s Failure To Curb Fentanyl Flow Into U.S [Video]

Trump SLAPS 35% Import Tariff On Canada, Citing Ottawa’s Failure To Curb Fentanyl Flow Into U.S

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a global trade storm by raising tariffs on Canadian imports to 35%, accusing Ottawa of failing to curb fentanyl and drug flows into America. Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canada’s efforts, but Trump claimed negotiations fell short. The new rate—up from 25%—comes amid broader tariffs hitting dozens of countries. Despite the USMCA shielding nearly 90% of Canadian exports, key goods like dairy, wood, and leather may still be taxed. Trump spared Mexico for now but warned that other nations—including Taiwan, India, Laos, and even Switzerland—face harsh levies, some as high as 41%. Critics warn of soaring consumer prices and economic disruption, but the White House insists the tariffs are "rebuilding the greatest economy in history." With global trade talks in limbo and retaliations expected, this marks Trump’s boldest move yet in his battle to reset world commerce. #TrumpTariffs #CanadaTradeWar #USCanadaTensions #35PercentTariff #GlobalTradeCrisis #DrugPolicy #USMCA #TrumpNews #FentanylCrisis #MexicoTrade #IndiaTariff #TaiwanSanctions #Laos40PercentTariff #TradeDeficit #TrumpTradePolicy #MarkCarney #WhiteHouseOrders #EconomicShockwave #TrumpVsWorld #TradeWar2025 ~GR.125~HT.408~

Putin’s Ukraine War BACKFIRES: Austria May ABANDON Historic Neutrality & Join NATO | BIG Win For U.S

Russia’s war on Ukraine has sparked a domino effect, pushing more European nations toward NATO. Austria, long neutral, is now debating membership as Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger warns neutrality no longer ensures security. Joining NATO would end Austria’s historic role as a bridge between East and West, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Analysts say this move could inspire other neutral states like Switzerland and Serbia to reconsider their positions. Instead of weakening NATO, Putin’s war has strengthened and expanded the alliance, isolating Russia further #Putin #UkraineWar #NATO #Austria #Neutrality #EuropeanSecurity #Russia #BeateMeinlReisinger #DieWelt #Geopolitics #GlobalSecurity #DominoEffect #Switzerland #Serbia #NATOExpansion #Article5 #Moscow #DiplomaticShift #AlliancePolitics #EasternEurope #PutinBackfires #UkraineConflict #SecurityDebate #RussiaIsolation #CollectiveDefense #WestVsRussia #AustriaNeutrality #DefensePolicy #WarImpact #StrategicShift #EuropeNews Also Read India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc Russian President Vladimir Putin Calls PM Modi To Condemn Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-president-vladimir-putin-calls-pm-modi-to-condemn-pahalgam-terror-attack-4143787.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~
